So YEARS ago (we are talking early 2000s) I got a chance to visit the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. I had traveled for work and was within striking distance of there and I just had to make the trip. So I did. The campus was much smaller than I expected and the city of Canton is not very impressive. Still, it was a super awesome experience and I am thankful I had the opportunity to make it. With that said, something neat kind of happened when I was there that I found out afterwards. Being that this was in the early 2000s, digital camera's were in their infancy and were not very amazing. Quality of pictures was an issue for a novice back then. They had this dark room that had rows full of busts. One after another. Like I said, it was very dark. Despite the darkness, I took quite a few pictures anyways of many different busts. Well, later as I found out, every single one of them was too dark. The flash didn't work correctly, picture was too dark, and they were all basically worthless photos..........except one. Tom Landry

His bust was the ONLY one that turned out where you could see it. I always thought that was pretty cool. I wasn't even mad about the other ones not turning out. Anyways, wanted to share. :)

Got to go when I was a youngster around 1978 or so. Way too young at 8 or so to know many players I there. Way too young to appreciate it. Only got to go because I had an aunt who lived in Akron and we would go there once a summer and I bugged them to stop In on the way home once.

Would love to go back now. Only a few hours away but just never have been back.

And even as a child I too was amazed at how small it was. Probably much bigger now.

Ive never been and want to....just to see Coach Landry's bust...and a few of my other heroes.
I still remember what John Madden said...at night,when no one is around,the busts talk to each other.
I believe its true.
